Achilleas Christou - A Feast of Colours

"A Feast of Colours" is the title of the new exhibition to be presented by Achilleas Christou at Kypriaki Gonia Gallery from 2 - 18 April 2015. The inauguration will be performed by sculptor Kikis Patsalos on Thursday, 2 April 2015, at 7:30 p.m.

Achilleas was born in Paris and studied art and photography. He also attended a School of Art and followed courses in the art of steel and metal constructions. He has had six solo exhibitions in Nicosia, Paphos and Larnaca and has taken part in numerous group exhibitions. His work is characterised by freshness and harmony and coordination of movement and shapes within explosions of bright colours.

He says: “My inspiration usually comes from the positive emotions that are influenced by the four seasons of the year. Nature’s impressive transformation around us changes emotions and becomes form. As spring comes and with the prospect of sunny mornings on the lazy beaches of our country, a feast of colours gives rise to this exhibition.

“I use a modern acrylic material with a soft texture that dries quickly, so I am able to work continuous hours without delay.”

Andreas Hadjithomas, among other things, has this to say:“Achilleas, in a plain style, with simple expressive means, manages to capture the interest immediately and to surprise with the boldness of colours. He succeeds in combining this boldness with sensitivity but also with the aesthetic identification of the image. He has succeeded in presenting a balanced form and content that results in a dynamic conclusion. He is an artist who moves within the meaning of a clear, colourful form and its operational extension in a world seeking his identity."
